          @ChickenTalon:

          You must ask the travel agent to put your cc details in the booking so that Qantas is charging you directly not by swiping your card at the travel agent EFTPOS machine.

        • anthonyaaa on 27/12/2015 - 01:22

          @isdnman:

          so far always booked through flight center… they beat any price i show them by $1 and have always waived my cc fees…
          In relation to paying with my cc and not through the eftpos machine.. Ive done it on a web portal link they sent me…

          does that technically get processed under qantas billings??? so therfore I should be fine right :S

          or is it still processed through flight center's internal billings

          Yep. Followed the link, which asked me to log into amexconnect. Did that, then when I click 'enrol now' it loops around twice, then opens a tab showing my account and all offers, of which there is no Qantas. Have not come across this before. BTW, Body shop was in my offers.

        • hamza23 on 02/12/2015 - 14:05

          @tonester: The Qantas offer isn't available for Velocity/Virgin branded AmEx issued cards.

          Unsure why the Body Shop offer isn't public as this appears available for all. Sometimes they get added to the Amex Connect page a few days after the offer starts.

          Just trying to determine if there are any other exclusions apart from Qantas not being available to Velocity branded AmEx issued cards.

          The moet hennessy deal is on the front page of the Amex Connect webpage without being logged in, 4 rows down bottom left.

      • [Deactivated] on 02/12/2015 - 14:08

        I think you may be right. I don't have the offer either for Velocity Amex, but I do for bank-issued Amex which earns QFF points. Last time around I received the offer, and used it, on both cards.

  • double_J on 02/12/2015 - 13:22

          As far as I know, all of these statement credits always explicitly exclude Gift Cards.
          So far from my own experience and many other reported experiences by other Ozbargainers, gift card purchases have always resulted in getting the credit.
          This was also the case for the previous Qantas statement credit offer.

          @tlam:

          So if we bought vouchers like vetopower did above we could only use one at a time per booking? I've got $6-700 flights I need to buy soon but was hoping to chuck all of it on gift cards.

        • vetopower on 02/12/2015 - 15:56

          @Shadowsfury: Only one voucher per booking. If voucher's value is more than the cost of the booking, you get it refunded, but apparently it takes ages. Best to get a voucher less than the booking amount.

        • Shadowsfury on 02/12/2015 - 16:05

          @vetopower:

          Thanks for replying.

          I can deal with waiting for a refund as long as it's definitely coming.

          EDIT: Was just reading the T&C on gift cards, seems like it isn't an actual refund but rather a new voucher will be issued to you for the remaining amount. Which is quite different from a regular refund if you don't plan on flying QF again soon.

    Man this is tempting. So I can get the gift vouchers, $1400 worth for $1200. Plus 7000 points… Plus the 1400 on my Amex card.

    Hmmmm… as usual the "Excludes Gift Cards" clause just doesn't seem to apply

  • Shadowsfury on 02/12/2015 - 17:02

    Any way to get both the $100 off and the maximum points from 5ppd on gift cards for a flight that would only cost about $760?

    Getting anything more than a $50 gift card would push the remaining amount below $700, meaning I wouldn't hit the required threshold for the $100 since it needs to be in a single transaction. However I would save on CC fees even with a $50 gift card.

    • Shadowsfury on 02/12/2015 - 18:10

      Looking at the T&C it seems that this one can be multiple transactions - although I think this is the first time I've come across the option for it to be multiple, usually its in one transaction isn't it?

      "in one or more transactions, between 2/12/15 and 31/12/15 to receive one $100 credit."

          The Australian txns come up as: QANTAS AIR AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA AU
          Where as australian flight bookings come up as QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMIT MASCOT

          might take the plunge and get a $200 voucher to take me over $700

          EDIT: just received my email Congratulations on taking up your Qantas Offer sweet, it worked. Many thanks.
